Cruelty. I was gonna make a comment about Tories, because they'd do this, but it's NYC.

America!

That little x seems to get smaller every time

Upvote just for the title!

So true!

Pinterest is a cesspool. I found some of my facebook photos had been uploaded on pinterest. A girl (wannabe maker/influencer/scammer) reuploaded them with her watermark and used them as example of her creations. Had to subscribe to the website to report the images, and after weeks of waiting... nothing happened. Zero answers, support or even an automated mail. In the meanwhile those images were stolen by others and popped around for a while on other websites, mostly on ads of promoting scams. Stopped uploading my work anywhere.

Copyright laws make this illegal, surely?

This is entrapment for introverts!

You can unsubscribe from hello fresh on their website, not the app. Also they sent me 75% off coupons when I did. I would resign up, cancel, get the coupon a couple days later, resign up, cancel. Did this about 5 times until they stopped sending me coupons lol.

Weird. I just cancelled mine last month, no phone call needed.

My insurance does the same. I can do anything via the app EXCEPT cancel something.

"customer Care team member": no, an aggressive commercial member, who will try all he/she to make you stay....

So many things on here that happen in the US are literally illegal in Australia... I read these things and I'm in shock.

It’s great how a company will conveniently let you add services with a single click, but to delete services? “Please wait for the next available representative.” Increased profit at any cost to the customer.

Same with Sirius

It should be a law that if you sign up online you should be able to cancel online. Also they shouldn't be able to hide the button. But here in Germany you can sign up for 💩 online but to cancel you have to actually write a letter 😂😂

They mean a customer service agent will nag and nag to make tou stay just so you dont get hassle of them constantly

I've cancelled with both the chat function and email when stuff like this has popped up. I just say I am NOT calling, I want to cancel and they do it

Absolutely!!! And this is so true of many subscription services. I have been trying to cancel my water delivery for over a year because I am forced to call but then have a 45 minute wait time. I have been “skipping” deliveries every month now for nearly a year.

Reminds me of what happened with a credit card. Someone on the other side of the country got my number, used it to buy 2 inexpensive children's books. When I received my statement for that month I called the company, explained to them what had happened, how it was impossible, they said fine, it was gone. A week or 2 later I received a letter from them saying they're reviewing it but they need a receipt from me for the sale of the books.... How the H could I have a receipt when I didn't buy the books? What is wrong with Bank of America? According to my son--everything! A few years ago he closed an account with them. A year later he receives a bill for $60! Seems they'd left a penny in his account & charged him $5. every month for interest. With the shouting match that followed they escorted him out of the bank with a security guard. In the end he did not pay the $60. BEWARE OF BANK OF AMERICA!

Counting on those of us who hate to talk to ppl. I don't like calling BC I'm hearing impaired. When l get someone who has an accent, whatever l have to handle with the company just got that much harder. So l frequently just hang up.

So many companies use this tactic.

This actually prompts r@ge in my heart

I heard California has a law that if you can sign up online, you can cancel online.

The other one they also like to use is only being able to cancel using an actual desktop to do so, not a mobile device. You can sure sign up real easy on a mobile device though, of course!

Pro-tip, cancel in the website not the app and it works. Difficult to find but you can get there eventually. Yours faithfully, another unhappy customer

This annoys me no end. If I can sign up online, I should be able to cancel online.

I swaped out my debit card in the payment part for a card that would be declined. After a couple months of no payment, my account was canceled. I am.not an introvert, but I HATE having to call places like this. I used an old visa gift card that had like $2 left on it. If you don't have a card to use that will be declined, you could go buy a visa gift card and load it with $5. I get at that point it would probably be easier to call, but maybe not for some of us. I fully admit, I would go get a new low balance card over calling, that is how much I hate it, and I am petty like that some times and want to beat them at their own game.

I didn't have to call to cancel mine...

and if u don't call to cancel they will kill u with their contaminated foods!

Because they want to talk to into remaining a customer. They will claim it is so that they want to make sure it is you unsubscribing.

Same with Good Food

They insist on trapping you in a phone call where they can peddle their wares...the ultimate carnival barkers, aaack!

Pretty typical, make it super easy to subscribe, but put more steps to cancel.

Had this same issue with Chicago Tribune digital subscription.

It's a scam to force you to buy their c**p

Not counting junk mail, the worst place to unsubscribe from!!

This must be old news; they were quite annoying about unsubscription in the early days indeed. But it’s quite easy to unsubscribe nowadays, at least it was when I tried.

This is exactly why I don't sign up for any free trials of services I at all doubt I want to keep. They automatically charge you as soon as your trial ends for the next month and you have to jump through hoops to cancel.
